I’m for sure starting this year out breathing much easier than when I started 2021 and 2022, however those more than 2 years were absolutely an enormous challenge for us financially! My pal and I almost got close to having to sell our home. That’s also when things get unquestionably real. My fiance lost her job due to the pandemic and after that I had to take a giant pay cut in order to work from home inside the central air conditioner of my house. This was pretty catastrophic and my buddy and I did our absolute best to hang on, however my fiance had such a hard time finding other employment that my buddy and I had to lean heavily on our savings just to pay the mortgage… Once I actually got back inside the zone controlled heating and A/C of the office, it helped. But still, my fiance could not get anything more than a few online gigs, so my buddy and I ended up having to really get down to brass tacks and figure out whether my buddy and I also needed to sell the house. Thankfully, my fiance is really smart and came up with an idea to rent out the basement. Our condo has a finished basement that just needed a bit more work to turn it into a nice, 1 home office apartment. My pal and I were able to do much of the work ourselves. But when it came to the entire plumbing and the heating and A/C, my buddy and I turned to the professionals! It didn’t take much for a plumber to finish off the bathroom by adding a shower… And the residential heating and A/C supplier solved the heating and cooling comfort situation with a ductless heat pump. That ductless heat pump really does provide some amazing quality heating and air to that space. My pal and I were able to find a renter no problem as my buddy and I live in a university town. So adding a ductless heat pump helped save our home.
